Hello, my name is Linda and I have suffered with Fibromyalgia for several years. I work part-time 23.5 hours per week and as I'm getting older the difficulty of working is becoming a big struggle to the point I think I am going to have to retire at 58yrs. I have been trying to find out if I can claim DLA of some sort to help as the income I lose will put a strain on our finances. Thanks for any help

Hi @Foxwood24
There is an online benefits calculator you can fill out to see what you could be entitled to and also a self PIP test to see how you could score on a PIP assessment.Scope
